Jones vs Silva makes much more sense than Silva vs GSP. Silva is significantly bigger than GSP and 25 mins is just too long to survive. GSP is muscled out at 170 and still not big enough. His BJJ coach said he tends to cut 25 pounds.

When this fight made sense, it wasn't made.

I feel this fight would only happy because Silva seems dis-interested in fights like Weidmen. Same thing happened a few years ago when he spoke about RJJ but then the division perked up again.

Now Sonnen & Jones are out of commission filming TUF, this fight is much more likely...

The UFC already missed the boat when Silva v GSP was at peak interest, hopefully Anderson sticks around long enough so they dont miss the boat with Jones too. There will always be interest in that fight, but if they made it after Silva's last fight it would have done more to the brand than recruiting Chael to revive the TUF show which jumped the shark years ago

I can't watch a GSP interview without feeling he is avoiding Silva. I can't watch a Silva interview without feeling he is avoiding Jones.

Love him or hate him at least Sonnen just says and goes through with it and he isn't even the champion.
